A Compressor that works for me.

My first amp had a build in compressor and few after market models compared to it I'm pretty demanding and look for a high fidelity sound even when playing rock similar to David Gilmour. I own an early version of the Keeley which has a good sound and can be easily adjusted.

One Sweet Compressor

I can't say enough good things about the sound quality of my Keeley 4 Knob. I bought mine about 5-6 years ago from Keeley (blue housing) and I wanted to give Keeley their due. Transparent, smooth, musical - this thing is built like a tank and they really care about their products AND their customers (like Sweetwater ;). If I had the money I would pick up a few more!

Awesome Pedal

This is a great pedal! The true bypass lives up to the hype. There is absolutely no tone loss when the pedal is off. Tap the foot switch and you get that cool blue light and wicked tone. It is sensitive though and the difference between amazing sound and muted muddy sound is not much. Start with all 4 knobs at 12:00 and very slowly start turning counter-clockwise until you find your tone. It took about an hour to dial it in, but once I found the sweet spot it was nothing short of amazing- It stays on all the time now and I couldn't be happier with my tone.

Keeley 4 Knob Compressor

This compressor makes any guitar sound great. While different locations( room acoustics) may require some tweaking to get the desired sound. The attack and clipping knobs are a sound tweakers dream. I own 2 other "boutique" compressors and this Keeley surpasses the others with its' ease of use and features.
